Ep. 81 - From Sibling Support to Motherhood with Anita

In this episode of Autism for Badass Moms, host Rashidah sits down with Anita, a mother, educator, and advocate. Her journey with autism advocacy began long before her daughter, Darlene, was diagnosed with autism and a speech impairment at just three years old. Having grown up with a twin sister who has a disability, Anita understands both the struggles and the strengths that come with navigating life as both a sibling and a parent of a child with special needs. She opens up about her personal experiences—how her childhood shaped her sense of identity, the challenges of growing up in a home where generational differences played a role in her upbringing, and how those experiences now fuel her passion for supporting other families. With a degree in Communication and a certification in Special Education, Anita has spent over seven years in the educational field, working tirelessly to ensure that children with disabilities receive the support they need. Now, she’s taking her advocacy a step further by launching Limitless Learning Solutions, an online tutoring business through the Outschool platform, dedicated to helping children of all abilities thrive. This conversation is one of resilience, growth, and the power of turning personal challenges into a mission to uplift others. Tune in and be inspired!
